Seem to be tube based and seems a great deal for the money. Someone SHF mentioned them which I the first I’d heard of them. https://www.brownaudiolabs.com

Very good used for like what $3,500? New was about $5,500? Just acquired a new Don Sachs DS2 for about $2,800. Still figuring out how it sounds but after just 50 hours it is as good as the CJ if not better. FWIW Dsper
